I need a pair of gloves and a new helmet 'cause I think the one I brought from California is illegal here (you have to have specific stickers). Also have to figure out a tank bag and top case somehow. There are a couple of stores nearby with moto accessories but they are closed on Sunday and I really wanted to take a spin.
So illegal and gloveless, off to Bellingen I go. The loop I chose is about an hour ride time and I also stopped for gas and breakfast.
I took main roads to get there, and a more scenic route on the way back. With no tank bag I had no good place to put my written directions so I memorized them. Below are some pics from the ride home.
There were a few kms of gravel, which was a surprise and a bit worrying because I really didn't need to slide out with no gloves!
All ended well and I arrived home with a big grin.
